Does anyone still see this behavior in more recent Ubuntu versions? ** Changed in: emacs23 (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete

An emacs daemon can persist as long as you want, across login sessions. However, this doesn't work well in Karmic because of two issues: 1. The XAUTHORITY environment variable changes with every login session, so when you log in a second time the daemon is using a stale value and cannot open new windows. I tried to work around this by using "M-x setenv" from within emacs, but apparently emacs doesn't reread the environment (strace shows it still trying to open the old path). 2. Gnome complains that emacs is still running when you log out. (Yes, of course it's still running, that's the point.) This is just a minor annoyance, you can ignore the warning and it doesn't cause further problems.
